We’re pleased to announce the release of PSPDFKit 2.8 for React Native. This release adds support for TypeScript, opening image documents in the NutrientView component, and React Native 0.73.
TypeScript Support
By bundling our TypeScript(opens in a new tab) type definitions in our Nutrient React Native SDK, you’re now able to enjoy the benefits of type safety, code suggestions, and autocompletion for Nutrient APIs and components while developing your application in TypeScript. TypeScript adds static typing to your project during development, allowing you to catch errors early and experience fewer run-time errors. This ultimately leads to shipping more stable products to your customers. Existing JavaScript-based projects will also receive helpful tool tips about the PSPDFKit APIs they’re calling when developing in supported IDEs, such as Visual Studio Code.
Support for Opening Images in the NutrientView Component
This release adds the ability to open image documents directly on Android using the existing NutrientView component. Previously, this was only supported on iOS. This negates the requirement to first convert image documents to a PDF and then pass them to PSPDFKit to open.
Enhancements and Bug Fixes for Native SDKs
This update to the Nutrient React Native SDK targets React Native 0.72.7, and it’s also compatible with React Native 0.73. Various bug fixes are included in this release, along with the latest updates from our native iOS and Android SDKs. For more information, please refer to the iOS and Android changelogs. To upgrade to this version, you’ll be required to perform some migration steps. Please refer to our React Native 2.8 migration guide for steps on how to migrate.
